RFE/RL Ukrainian Journalist Demonstrates Homemade Body Armor
To counter the unexpectedly ferocious response by government forces against journalists, RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service video journalist Yevhen Solonyna created a metal jacket for added protection during coverage of violent antigovernment protests in Kyiv. Solonyna also showed off professional-grade body armor used by RFE/RL correspondents. (Video shot in Kyiv by RFE/RL's Belarus Service)
